Evolution, behaviour and conservation: Homage to Professor Jordi Sabater Pi.

The 8th Iberian Primatology Congress of the Spanish Primatological Association (APE) and the Portuguese Primatology Association (APP) was held in Barcelona from 5 to 8 October 2022, organized by the APE in collaboration with the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Barcelona.

In this edition, we pay tribute to Professor Jordi Sabater Pi, ethologist and nature enthusiast, born in Barcelona in 1922, who focused his studies on the social behavior of primates as well as, in many other disciplines such as zoography or ethnography. He is still a main reference for many primatologists in our country. Throughout the congress we intend to transmit the importance of his work.
In accordance with the multidisciplinary approach used by Professor Jordi Sabater Pi, the aim of the congress is to promote the exchange of experiences between the different branches of Primatology, to facilitate communication between participants and to serve as a forum for reflection on communication between all the disciplines of primatology. We encourage the participation of all those working in different areas of primatology including evolution, behavior and conservation, as well as modeling and analysis of social networks, primate archaeology or cognition and neuroscience, with primates both in captivity and in the wild.
One of the main motives of the conference was to open the forum to the largest number of papers, both from senior researchers and students or researchers in training, regardless of the topic or species of study. On behalf of both the Organizing Committee and the Spanish Primatological Association, we thank you for your participation and for presenting the latest results of your projects and research at this Congress.
